Do you mean that the "Caps Lock" and "num lock" LEDs are blinking? If so, that is a kernel panic. You will be able to capture some information about that crash by switching to the logging console (CTRL-ALT-F10) just after you initiate the process that causes the crash. > IIUC this driver is not under active development, but maybe someone > knows it enough to try and fix it, or maybe there's some alternative > driver for this card that I should try? The vendor driver in staging is not really under active development. We are currently writing a mainline driver that uses mac80211 from the vendor code. Of course, it is not possible to predict when this driver will be ready.
